Online Tutoring in Australia

Online tutoring occurs over the internet, allowing students and tutors to interact through video conferencing tools like Zoom or Skype, or via specialised online tutoring platforms. This method shares several advantages with traditional in-person tutoring, including personalised attention and adaptability. With the creation of new tools, providing tutoring online has become just as good as in-person. Additionally, it provides extra benefits such as the convenience of accessing help from any location and often being more cost-effective.

To start tutoring with Apex, please fill out this form. One of our Operations Managers will receive and process it. They will get all the necessary details from you and then begin the process of finding the perfect tutor for you.

Once you’ve been matched with an online tutor by one of our Operations Managers, your tutor will reach out to arrange a suitable time for your session. The tutor will then send you a link to join the lesson. Depending on their preference, tutors may use a variety of tools such as video calls, interactive whiteboards, and real-time messaging, ensuring an engaging and personalised learning experience.

Because your tutor is based in your city, they are familiar with the local course content and curriculum. This means students can access tailored lessons across a wide range of subjects, delivered in a way that matches their individual learning style and pace.

Online tutoring also offers flexibility — students can learn from home at times that suit them best. A key strength is the ability to receive immediate feedback and personalised attention. One-on-one interaction allows students to ask questions, get instant responses, and develop a deeper understanding of the subject, all within a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

The cost of online tutoring will depend on two factors:

1. Are you getting an academic or professional tutor?
2. What year level is the student completing?

For our academic tutors, the pricing is:

• $72 per hour for Year 11 & 12 online tutoring
• $62 per hour for Year 10 or below  online tutoring

For our professional tutors, the pricing is:

• $110 per hour for Year 11 & 12 online tutoring
• $95 per hour for Year 10 or below  online tutoring

Further, if you want to purchase a package of lessons, we can give you a discount! For full details, please check out our pricing page.

It does depend on the students, however we have received great feedback from our students about online tutoring. After we were forced to go to online tutoring due to COVID-19, 65% families sticked with online tutoring once we were able togo back to in-person tutoring.

Often online tutoring does work better for subjects that require less calculations and formulas. Subjects like English and Humanities are great for online tutoring because most of the instruction is verbal and it's a lot easier to analyse writing and edit essays with a shared screen than in-person on paper.

There have been numerous studies that have shown the effectiveness of online tutoring. A study in Spain showed that students who engaged in online maths tutoring performed better in standardised tests.

Most of our tutors are recently graduated high school students who finished in the top 3% of their subjects with a median ATAR of 99.00. Many of them have gone on to further study the subjects they tutor at university. All our tutors are passionate educators and pride themselves on their knowledge in their chosen subjects. To become a tutor with Apex, all tutors go through a rigorous application and interview process as well supply us with a valid Working With Children's Check.

We also have qualified teachers who work with us as part of our professional service. Our professional tutoring service options includes qualified teachers with experience teaching in Australia as well as the our top tutors in the country who received excellent marks (minimum 99.00 ATAR), have 5+ years tutoring experience, 500+ hours of tutoring and received 50+ five-star reviews.

Our goal at Apex Tuition Australia is to provide online tutoring services to students in Australia in the most effective, efficient and convenient way possible.

Yes, all of our tutors are familiar with the current curriculum. We recognise how important it is that your tutor is an expert in the curriculum they are teaching. Either the tutor would have completed the same subject at school as the student via our academic tutoring service or the tutor will be a qualified teacher with experience teaching the subject via our professional service tier.

Each curriculum in Australia is slightly different and has its own nuances that are important for the tutor to know. We will always endeavour to match you with a tutor who is intimately familiar with the curriculum your child is completing.

At the moment, we have tutors who have completed the VCE, HSC, QCE, SACE, WACE and IB.

For younger year levels, we will endeavour to find a tutor who has completed the same course but this is less vital.

Communication with the tutor is very easy. The tutor will make contact with you and then you are free to communicate with the tutor in whatever way works best. Our Operations team is also always here to help if you need any assistance.

At Apex Tuition Australia, we offer a first session satisfaction guarantee! This means if you are not happy with your first session, we will give you a 100% refund and find you another tutor. For full details on the first sessions satisfaction guarantee, you can read out terms and conditions here.
